This sounds great. I've been experimenting with some big ass ugly bugs for Lone and Pass Lake. Got inspired by the one Backyard turned me onto at Dry Falls. :thumb: I don't know if they are sculpins or not. I'll search around and find a pattern.

I'm in. I need some for a float in Alaska this summer. I'm planning on tying the one by Chuck Stranahan that was featured in Fly Fisherman mag a couple of issues back. He gave me one at a show to use as a pattern. Mine will be done on Eagle Claw 413 jig hooks so it should ride point up.

well i tied my first one up this morning.... i have to say that i believe it would work for bass, although they are not the best test as i have found them to eat anything...
Used some bear fun for dubbing... looked pretty good but it might float a little too much unless i give it some good weight.

Well I just got back from Lone Lake testing my ugly ass fly. My deer hair spinning is pretty piss poor but the fish didn't seem to mind. Picked up about five in the hour I was out. Biggest went 17", the rest were stocked triploids. Now I just have to quit fishing and start tying. :beathead:
